Linux WiFi driver

The Madwifi driver works with this adapter.

No problem with WiFi, the driver works fine on my R51e, but the WiFi LED on the panel doesn't light up.


Madwifi driver works fine on R51e, but the antenna seems to stay switched off after suspend to disk and cannnot be activated without a reboot. Somewhat annoying, shutting down the device before suspend to disk does not solve the problem.
